    Open Train times has it cancelled onwards from Crewe as does the feed on railcams - guess RTT might be lagging a bit. At the moment its sitting at the platform near the Chester lines, steam coming from the safety valve and with what I assume is the support crew having a chat alongside the support carriage. No sense of urgency.

    Noticed that RTT has her going through platform 9? which is a north facing bay? also that she did not stop for water in 12 as planned.

    Railcams suggests cancelled at 15:01 - would still have been enroute to Crewe so possibly diverted straight into Heritage Centre.
